I assume you list your weights in lbs, right? Do you use tiny plates to get those 1 lb increments or do you hang chains or something else? Are those numbers percentages of your max or how do you plan them out? Sorry if you've answered those questions already somewhere in the previous 24 pages of your log.

Do you use tiny plates to get those 1 lb increments or do you hang chains or something else?

They look a little funny because our weights are all in kilograms, so for example when I write that I used the 57lb dumbbells (which looks really odd) it's because they were 26kgs. Our dumbbells go up in 2kg increments, as for the plates they go 1.25kg, 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 is the largest at the main gym I use (the PL'ing gym obviously has much heavier plates and a bigger range in general).

My 200 squat from the last workout I did I just rounded up from 90kg ~ technically it was only 198 haha.

They're percentages based off my current 1RM, which I test out once a month; so the numbers get reprogrammed monthly. My training split looks like this:

Hope some of you guys can send out some positives vibes for my wifes' cousins cousin, she is racing in just over 24hrs time in the womans triathlon. Big race for her, she's just been given the flag that all of her friends and family signed for her (she didn't know about this so it would have been a nice surprise).

I'm sure she's going to do pretty well, she's said she is aiming to be one of the first out onto the run after the bike leg, if that happens then she should be in the hunt for a medal of some colour. Big family occasion for us all tomorrow night, huddled around the TV and shouting lots haha. GO ANDREA !!
